Root Words of Quran

Find the meanings of Quranic words. (Translation by Imtiaz Ahmad Khan)
The root words are provided so the reader of Quran can interpret the meaning of Ayats.

All Arabic words are based mainly on three Arabic Alphabets, “Huroof Ul Hjja,” and called "root word.” The Arabic root words provide the word's base meaning, and these words are morphed into various tenses based on work done in phases of time like past, present, and the number of workers (like one worker, two workers, or three workers).

On this website, the words of the Quran are listed next to each Ayat. These words are linked to the Arabic English University Dictionary of the Modern Literary Language, Compiled and Arranged by MAAN ZULFI MADINA from Columbia University.

Please visit our updated Website: added qirat from well known qaris, enhanced search capability, prayer timing and much more

  • Root Words of Ayat of the Quran are linked to the pages of the Dictionary.
  • Click on the root word next to Ayat, and the dictionary page will open, where meanings are provided.
  • Listings of all words are available on the second sheet.
  • It is recommended that the Quran shall be read in conjunction with other translations

Shaziya 2/23/2024 8:24:36 AM
As salamu alaikum. May I know the root word and variant of the word aafiya

Response:

Walakum As salam. Shaziya According to the dictionary, the root word for عا فيىةis عفا or عفو with meaning good health, well-being, vigor, or forgiven kindness etc., Dictionary Page # 441 shows the details of the word. I hope it answers your inquiry. May Allah (SWT) reward you for your efforts. Jazak Allah Khair.
Inaaya 2/15/2024 2:10:16 AM
As salamu alaikum. Based on my research and understanding, I believe that the root words for يَحُورَ are ح - ا- ر which can be used to imply "returned", "change from a good state to a bad state", "decrease", "confusion".This maybe a wrong observation. Please look into it and guide me. JazakAllah.

Response:

Walakum As salam. Inaaya According to the dictionary, there are many translations of the root word for يَحُورَ, ح - ا- ر,حَارَ including to return, to be reduced, white, and alley, etc., with other meanings of other morphed forms that are available by clicking on the link of dictionary Page # 176 of the word حَارَ. The translations follow the meanings of the dictionary. In the translation for the Surah No. 84--الإنشِقاق--Splitting Open --.Ayat No 14 is translated as "to return," and it is the correct translation. Let us know of a particular Ayat in your references. I hope it answers your inquiry. May Allah (SWT) reward you for your efforts. JazakAllah Khair.

ASA, "I have completed reading the entire Quran, which took me almost a year. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and reflecting on the verses. The most fascinating part was learning the root words with a dictionary, which helped me to better understand the Quran. May Allah (SWT) reward you in this world and the hereafter."

Kamran Shaikh 11/21/2023 6:55:50 AM
Great work done here may Allah SWT accept this endeavour and increase you and your team in knowledge, just a couple of inputs, one the dictionary you have used gives many example of words and example outside of the Quran Vocubalary, can you attach some good lexicon of Quranic arabic, second is it possible to show the dictionary page a copy able text so people can use it for their personal research. Again good work, please continue the development. Jazak Allahu Khair

Response:

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Kamran Shaikh, Thank you for your valuable advice on adding a Quranic Lexicon to increase the understanding of the Quran. This task would require a team of scholars to research the historical context and include the latest scientific proofs to explain the definitions and meanings backed by research references. We have already included a few references, such as the supernova explosion with the plasma jet stream in Surah Tariq. We invite interested audiences with expertise in the scientific community to establish a committee and work together to publish a Qur'anic Lexicon to improve our understanding of the Al-Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who received the Glorious Al-Quran. We are grateful to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for this blessing and strive to understand His message and seek His forgiveness. We appreciate your encouraging comments. Kindly inform us of any errors or suggestions for improvements. May Allah Subhanahu Wa-Ta'ala reward you for your efforts. جزاك اللهُ خير Jazaka Allahu Khairan: May Allah reward you with good.

Assalamu alaikum , may I know root letter for اتقوا thank you

Response:

Assalamualaikum, Thank you for your inquiry. I have used the root for اتقوا as تَقَى; however, وَقَى, has the same meaning when used as a verb. If we use, “those who are afraid of Allah”, we can use وَقَى, as root words. If we use “those who are devout, and pious”, then we can use تَقَى, as the root word. Allah Knows the Truth, The Best, May Allah Subhanahu Wa-Ta'ala reward you for your efforts. Jazaka Allahu Khairan: ًجزاك اللهُ خيرا, "May Allah reward you with good

Assalamoalaikum, may Allah swt grant immense ajar in the akhira and also dunya to the makers of this priceless app. With utmost respect, I wish to point out that in surah 87 , ayah 16 the root word of توثرون is mentioned as ث ر ا meaning "wealth", the word توثرون is from باب افعال so it can not be ث ر ا, whereas other sources have confirmed that the root is ا ث ر meaning "to prefer" and it matches the وزن of باب افعالIt is a great pleasure reading the quran with the root words, jazak Allaho khairan kaseera

Arabic root word for ' you decend '

Response:

Assalamualaikum, Uzma Khawar, A simple translation for "you descend" is "تنزل", derived from the root word "نَزَلَ". Surah 26, Ayat 221 is one of several verses in the Quran where the word "descend" is mentioned. May Allah reward you for your efforts. Jazaka Allahu Khairan: جزاك اللهُ خيرا.

Fahad 12/25/2022 3:28:06 PM
AoA. Thank you for compiling the roots in one place. Barak Allahu Feek! In looking at some of the root words you show, some are different that what other sources say. As an example for 1:5, the word الصِّرَاطَ is generally tied to the root صِرَط, but you are showing صِرَاط. There are several others that do not match with typical conventions. I don't know Arabic at all, let alone what roots are 'true'. Just humbly requesting if you can share what specific source do you follow to list the roots? Any guidance will be greatly appreciated, and will help me align my understanding of the various ways of looking at the Quranic text, iA. Thank you again for the great work you have initiated. SA

Response:

Walakum Assalam, Fahad, Appreciate your comment. The root words are normally listed in separate alphabets, but the reader of the Quran will not easily identify the words of Quranic Ayats. The Dictionary of the Modern Literary Language Compiled and Arranged by MAAN ZULFI MADINA shows the root word most closely listed in written forms. Checking in the dictionary on pp-371, the word used is صِرَاط with the meanings of way and path. The word for ارض is shown as أَرَض. The word wrapping sometimes becomes a problem in the data and should be ارض. There are a few words that will be updated to be the same as shown in the dictionary. We will keep updating the root words as shown in the dictionary. Originally the work was developed in excel with the link function and find function of root words in the Quran. Now we have used SQL to upload the files. May Allah Subhanahu Wa-Ta'ala reward you for your efforts. Jazaka Allahu Khairan: ًجزاك اللهُ خيرا “May Allah reward you with good.”

Response:

Assalam U Alaikum Qurat ul ain Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your comment. The root word and meaning of the word نَزَغَ is not listed in the Arabic English University Dictionary of the Modern Literary Language Compiled and Arranged by MAAN ZULFI MADINA. However, the online dictionary (https://www.arabdict.com/ar/english-arabic) shows the meaning as incitement to evil. Hope this answers your question.

Qaisrani 10/11/2021 11:05:09 PM
Dear Admin, you have written صدق الله العظيم as part of every sorah and even given it an ayat number while it is not part of the Quran. The Holy Quran does not have this verse and there is no example of writing these words in the Quran so please remove this as it is a kind of tehreef.JazakAllah

Response:

Assalam u Alakum Qaisrani, We appreciate your comment. The line صدق الله العظيم, ALLAH HAS SPOKEN THE GREATEST TRUTH, was added to be read after the recitation of Al-Quran as a regular practice. We agree with your comment that these lines are not part of Al-Quran and should not number as a continuation of Ayats. We will remove these lines on the next upgrade. It has become part of the database at present, and for now, we will add clarifications to these lines. Please let us know if you find any other mistakes for corrections or provide us with your suggestions for improvements. May Allah Subhanahu Wa-Ta'ala reward you for your efforts.

Response:

Walakum Assalam, Luqman Abdurahman We received the Message of Al-Quran from Prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam : صلى الله عليه و سلم also ﷺ) .

We need to understand the meanings of each word and context of the Ayahs. We appreciate your recommendation and will try to add the etymology of words.

Its a stunning work. i am learning arabic and deeply interested to speak fluently. If you can provide the linking pages as text reference, will be a great boon for us. through that we can also search for any words that appear in texts and refer back to the root. it is also the reverse way. But now the linked dictionary pages are in pdf or image only ref. But thanks very much for this wonderful work. Ifyou can make a tool out of it..we can contribute to it as i know time is spent very much on it.

Response:

Assalamu’alaikum Babu, It is our blessing from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, that He sent us His Great Messenger, Prophet Muhammad Salla Allahu hu Alaihi Wassalam, with Quran. It is Guidance for our lives. We must understand, each word of Quran, and ask for His guidance, Forgiveness and Acceptance. We thank you for your comments of encouragement. We want to keep the dictionary in original format, and the great work done by author Maan Zulfi Madina and Columbia University. We do have plan to digitize the dictionary later if the permission is granted. Please continue to use the website and send us recommendations. Please share the website with others. Jazakallah

Salam - For the last 10 years I have been searching for a similar tool that can connect the Quranic ayats with their root words. This is a revolutionary tool that truly fulfils the gap in understanding that existed between the meaning and spirt of each ayat.After gaining this deeper level of understanding the process of reading quran becomes a process which is a dialogue between your soul and Allah. Now i understand why this message was such a transformational tool in the lives of sahaba since they understood the root meaning of quranic ayats. I feel like this is the need of the hour and this tool will truly helps us in establishing and connecting back to our true ibrahimic roots. I would like to send my deepest gratitude to team behind this master piece.May the ummah benefit from this revolutionary tool.

Response:

Walakum Assalam, Waleed, We received the Message of Al-Quran from Prophet Muhammad Salla-Allahu Alayhi Wasallam, and this is our blessing in our life, and to Thank Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. All we can do is to try understanding His Message and ask for His Forgiveness. Your comments were encouraging; we are working on the next phase of update where we will add few more words and few corrections, along with links of dictionary pages enabled, just by hovering over the Ayats. Please let us know if you find any mistakes for corrections or provide us with your suggestions for improvements. May Allah Subhanahu Wa-Ta'ala reward you for your efforts. JAK.
